Jaywick - How did it get that bad?

  1. read it and find out....the above information and previously quoted figures are from The Office for National Statistics, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, The Department for Work and Pensions, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies....not a Daily Mail quote in sight;)

    You seem to be ignoring the facts. They're not the poorest members of society by any means.

    So they might be but as several people have pointed out they don't tell the whole story.
    EVEN THE FIGURES YOU QUOTED amount to in excess of a £23k salary.

    our taxs would be the same if there wasn't a benefit system it would just be wasted else where

    my best mate had a brain anuerisam he survived and after a few weeks they told him he was fit for work so couldn't claim a penny
    they also expected him to travel 20 odd miles to the dole office even thou he couldn't drive due to his illness so the system doesn't work for everybody

    Maybe not, but it ain't mine either..... (Tongue in cheek smiley)

    On a serious note, if they're medically / mentally unable to work, they're not the ones I've got an issue with.

  14. There is a gardening business over here just for the disabled people ,they do look to enjoy it ,also workshops in Cornwall for disabled all shut down due to cuts ,I knew people there and they were happy doing something.....:hattip:

    It is a shame....
